For Kovid Calibre is a hobby and he finds pleasure in it. It is easy to see it is a labor of love for him.

I was thinking more like a teenage daughter out on a date

I definitely find it hard to achieve the degree of separation from calibre that a vacation demands

If your like many of us at some point during a vacation home sanity demands that you separate yourself from the family even if for a short time.

@rtype: Thanks for this. Do I need to create a developer account in Librarything to be able to use this plugin?

Thanks. I am both blind and prone to selective reading!

For the impaired......I see the plugin in version 7.3 Do we still need the developers key? If so, how do we add it?

Thanks....

kovidgoyal · 06-19-2010, 07:18 PM

You dont need the developers key

Debby · 06-19-2010, 08:44 PM

Thanks - it is not gathering the series information. I have tried it with the "social metadata" checked and unchecked (is this necessary?). Also confirmed the plugin is enabled. Am I missing something?

I may be wrong, but if I understand correctly there is no industry standard metadata entry for Series yet. I don't think you're missing anything, I just don't think it is an option.

The LT plugin is supposed to be getting series metadata. As far as I can tell the LT server is down right now. (it's not returning valid responses).

Learning something new every day, thanks for the info and the 0.7.4 update.

It looks like this plugin doesn't work anymore, error 'no module named fetch' when trying to add to calibre. I see in the thread that maybe the functionality was added to Calibre, but I don't see it. I'm mainly looking to add the Librarything web link for books, as I get using the Goodreads, Amazon, etc. metadata plugins.

The LibraryThing metadata download plugin no longer exists. The website owners of LT started trying to block automated requests, so the plugin was discontinued.
